There's no strategy I particularly like. I've done well using a primarily defensive Spike-stacking team with a couple sweepers tagged on at the end. Generally, my teams end up being some sort of offense, generally featuring a lower-tiered Pokemon (Swellow, Aggron, Magneton, etc.) or two. My "playstyle" depends on my mood. Some days I'll just throw in an offensive team, some days I'll just stall most of the time with Vaporeon + Ferrothorn.

Though I love Hail, its hard to come up with balanced teams. Anyone wanna help?

When I make a hail team, I limit myself to only two ice types. Maybe you could get away with three, but that's not the trick to hail. If you don't want to be using an inferior sand team, build it to remove anything that can resist Blizzard, then start throwing around choice specs/scarfs Blizzards from a pokemon like Kyurem in the late game.

I normally only use two ice types on a hail team and they're Abomasnow and Kyurem. I usually have a spinner to get rid of that ugly SR weakness (Or maybe I'll try Espeon), but anyway maybe I should'nt have asked for team help and may as well bring it to the team building thread. Thanks though!

In NU, stuff revolving around covering the weaknesses of and exploiting the flawed tiering of Golurk. In RU, my snake team actually laddered, so I guess I use that. In OU, I use balanced team that leans toward stall. And it sucks, but I don't really like OU anyway. I have never played Ubers or UU.

I tried using Trick Room for a while, but I just couldn't get into it. I would say my playstyle is more of a bulky offensive, but I really enjoy using some mixed attackers, and I also hate weather. Often include a 'Mon to take care of that. Feels like that has to be on any team that isn't weather nowadays.

I play a feigned defense a lot, but with a bulky sweeper for endgames, and something like protect disable galvanutal(or red card double dancer) to maintain pressure on my opponet, making my primariy goal to beat down enemy stall sets before allowing their offensive pokes to be worn down by relatively minor attacks.
